michael mcateer, nhk world new york. >>> a lot of talent there.s time for a check of the weather. people in western japan are getting rain this morning, not good news for those in areas hit by powerful earthquakes a few weeks ago. robert speta joins us with more. >> yes, in fact, we are still looking at wide spread precipitation in some areas across parts. it is going to get quite heavy on tuesday and really that chance of flooding but also landslides, as well. we do have two separate storm systems here running a i long the stationary front. one back here towards the east bringing light rainfall across parts of northern japan and tokyo area if you are out and about you might have an umbrella but the heavy stuff is back here towards the west. really have more instability there and parts, we have some of these very strong thunder cells flaring up this morning with frequent lightning and damaging winds potentially and maybe a waterspout or possibly coastal tornado is possible with this as it pushes by but i think the biggest threat coming out of this
